Wish the Son-In-Law (Dermot M) Was Less Cliche

He was the one character that, from his haircut and goatee to his dialogue, seemed very unrealistic, almost too noticeably a satire on the too-mundane small town existence. Especially when he acted out the shovel digging during Jack's wedding speech, it was just, too much. And I like that actor. No characters in SIDEWAYS were cartoonish like this. The teen's vapid boyfriend in DESCENDANTS was kind of this way, only Robert Forster socked him before he could be too lame. Now I realize, this is a dark, bleak, intentionally "bland human" comedy but still, just saying. PS I do dig his childhood bedroom Van Halen poster.
